We Are Beirt | Aoife B. Burke & Miriam Burke
Post by T.M. Both mice were in the town last week to attend the PR Slides/Littlewoods Bop Awards. We were in very good company in the Best Fashion Read category but alas were runners up (as we like to sugar coat it) to a website with a much, much larger readership than ours. Onwards and […]
MorePost by T.M. As I write this there is another window of my computer open playing an episode of Castle. I could lie and say that it was Game of Thrones or House of Cards or one of the other must-see shows du jour but you already know that while I consider myself to have quite good taste, […]
MoreIf you ignore current affairs talk in pubs, on the radio and tv and ah, when in the company of others, you might be inclined to say that those of us lucky enough to be employed in Ireland don’t have it too bad. Why? All of the bank holidays we get! Last month was the St. […]
MorePost by CM I once did a “What age are you really?” quiz online and got 64. It’s widely known that I can’t wait to be retired and a lunching lady of leisure – it may well be that my biggest ambition is to be a cantankerous old woman. So it was with glee that I realised […]

MorePost by T.M. So the Irish Film and TV awards – or the IFTAs as they’re (not so) fondly known – were held on Saturday night. Any Irish person reading knows that the general consensus is that it was a complete and utter shambles and everyone involved has a lot to answer for. That’s according to the […]
MorePost by CM Last weekend I was improbably, but pleasantly surprised to be introduced to 1960s Czechosolvakian New Wave Cinema and now I’m going to tell you all about at. And you’ll like it. No really, you will! Daisies is an ambitious and surrealist response to the regime of the era, starring two amateur actresses (let’s […]
MorePost by T.M. There once was a spoilt little brat who ordered her nice adoptive mother to buy her a pair of gorge red shoes. Once in those shoes the girl felt so totally fabulous she didn’t even care about what was being said in church (What?) When she actually misses her mama’s funeral a […]
